I've wanted to be 23 for as long as I can remember. I love odd numbers, and 23 just always seemed like the perfect age to be. So here I am! My nephews' cards came in the mail today.. and it's no understatement to say that I stood there and cried forever when I saw them.

Isn't that the cutest thing ever? I guess when you turn 23, you grow a neck. Since I clearly have a neck, and Clayton does not! :) I also look a little apprehensive about my claw fingers, don't I? It's the cutest thing I've ever seen, and it's on my refrigerator now!

Shannon

I grew up in Kentucky, met my soul mate at church, married him two years later, and waved goodbye as he left to join the Air Force just two weeks into our marriage. I learned a heckuva lot about life, love, and sacrifice in our first year as husband and wife!

Being a mommy is my greatest joy in life.

Mark

Mark is serving our country in the United States Air Force as an electrician. He loves his career and loves his family even more. He surprises me daily with how awesome of a Daddy he can be. I am absolutely in love with him and SO thankful for him!

Little Toot

Our sweet girl entered our lives on October 20, 2010, and our lives have never been more full or more fun! She's timid, yet spunky and independent; cuddly yet always on the go. She loves learning new words, playing babies and kitchen, and being near her Mama. Her love for babies makes us very excited to see her become Big Sister this fall!

Piper

Piper is our 2-year-old West Highland Terrier! She's full of spunk and brings unimaginable joy to our lives. Piper can be found napping on the couch, snuggled next to me, carrying a "nip" around the house, or rough housing with her favorite raccoon toy! She takes her role as "protector" of our family very seriously and is always guarding our house!
